Gal Talk: 6/15/11
1. God bless. Phyllis Schflaly. She continues to be a jewel in the conservative movement decade after decade. In a recent interview with James Dobson, formerly of Focus on the Family, she said: “Our position is that American women are the most fortunate class of people who ever lived on the face of the earth. [...]
CosmoCon Makeover!
You may have noticed a new look today. A lot less pink and a lot more content. While I liked my old template, this week I noticed that it was broken in the new version of Firefox. Since it’s never worked correctly in Chrome, I decided it was time to give up on it. This [...]
The Path to Prosperity
If you know any conservatives, chances are they are giddy today over Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan for FY 2012, aptly named The Path to Prosperity. Late last night, I nearly swooned while reading Ryan’s Wall Street Journal op-ed. Budget cuts. Fiscal restraint. Reducing spending. Those are the real signs of hope and change. True [...]
State of the Union Reaction
Today, I have a post up at Blogher with my reaction to Obama’s second State of the Union address. I promise it’s not as long as his speech.
Good start to GOP House?
In news that makes makes my cold, hard conservative heart happy, the House is scheduled to vote on a repeal of Obamacare on Friday. Now I realize that this is largely symbolic, and it has very little chance of actually succeeding, but it signals that House Republicans appear to be listening to the base. Rasmussen [...]
Thank you for serving
Every morning and evening, I drive past the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. It serves as a daily reminder of how important our armed forces are. I don’t do or say enough to thank those who have served or are currently serving in our military, but I certainly appreciate it. Life is tough for those [...]
Conservatism is Timeless
Today, I stumbled upon old videos of Ronald Reagan speeches. His 1980 Republican National Convention speech would still fit today. It’s worth watching, because it emphasizes that the values that still ring true. Listen at the 6-8 minute mark for his comments about Jimmy Carter and substitute the current president’s name. Listen to this speech [...]
Things to Consider When Writing Hate Mail
Hate mail is an intriguing concept. Our society is growing more and more hateful because we can send horrible messages without suffering the consequences of ever facing that person. I’ve written about hate mail before, and I’m currently working on another project that is the target of a lot of hate mail. Michelle Malkin’s post [...]
Wanna Protest Al Gore?
Several months ago, I wrote several posts about the University of Tennessee’s announcement to grant Al Gore an honorary degree. I haven’t forgotten about this and have maintained my pledge to never give the UT system another dime. Over the weekend, I was reminded that my friend and former colleague, Lindsay Souza, will be in [...]
Is the Universe Off-Balance?
The universe must be off-balanced today. Slates’ Double X actually published a post that attacked Nancy Pelosi and linked to a Mary Katherine Ham piece at the Weekly Standard. I thought they had some type of rule that banned all conservative women in order to pretend that we don’t exist. Then, I read two other [...]
